START OF THE MONDAY QUARTERBACKING DECISION:
4:00 p.m. PT
In an apparent move to avoid the crowd of reporters and citizens outside the courthouse, the jurors are taken out of court through an underground parking garage instead of their usual exit on the sidewalk. Beth Karas and I are standing outside the garage when the two sheriff's vans pull out. I can see the Teamster seated in the front passenger seat of the first van. A photographer from the Modesto Bee is standing with us and he begins taking photos. The court officer driving the first van slams on the brakes and leaps out of the vehicle. He stomps over to the photographer, Al Golub, while shouting, "Did you take a picture?" He stammers, "I did." The officer orders him to hand over the disc from his camera. He offers to delete the image, but the officer snaps, "I don't have time, buddy." He grabs the disc and gets back in the van. The van pulls away, brakes sqealing. The second van follows. In the front seat, Strawberry Shortcake is roaring with laughter. —Harriet Ryan
3:35 p.m. PT: Deliberations end for the day.
False alarm. Delucchi announces that "the jury has been asked to be excused for the night. They'll be back Monday morning 8 o'clock." No verdict this week. —Harriet Ryan
3:33 p.m.
Minutes after defense lawyers came to the courtroom, prosecutors arrive at court. The judge is here in his robe. Looks like something is going down. —Harriet Ryan
3:05 p.m.
Just minutes ago, the courtroom was atwitter because Stanislaus County District Attorney James Brazelton took a seat in the courtroom. Does it mean something? Is a verdict near? Those questions quickly fade as Brazelton walks out of the courtroom. The bailiff, who has been walking in and out of the judge's chambers, tries to reassure nosy reporters that he's just "doing some housekeeping." "Because I'm running around doesn't mean anything happens," the bailiff says. "It doesn't mean nothing's happening," someone shouts back. —Harriet Ryan....
LOL!
I know it's ridiculous.
That's why I posted it.
The juror the media have named "Strawberry Shortcake,"
has purple/pink hair... lol... and today is wearing
the 4 inch pink heels, which leads reporterette Harriet Ryan
to believe that she is dressed for prime time: that the
verdict is a comin' soon.
I also thought "If her lung capacity is so low, how can she be walking up and down the steps in the courthouse? It takes a lot out of a person going up and down steps, with limited lung capacity.
Just never know what lengths people will go to. Know what I mean?
"Hi, my son is an angel, even if he was convicted of murdering his wife and unborn child. Please give him 20 years in Cancun"
That juror will be the first one to release a book.
And you know what? People will buy it.
why isn't The Guild covering the fashoin side of this event??
LOL You should definitely be on retainer! ;-)
Careful, of Chad, he's trying to move in on your territory. Maybe we should have a lotto for our daily crabby interloper. lol
Pinz
Maybe Fox News should hire me. I'll give Greta Van Tabloid a run for his money.
Here you all are!
I've been just skimming this occasionally.. Please..who, or what, is "strawberry shortcake?"
They covered the fashions at the OJ Trial.....
I can't wait for this to be over so we can move on to our next National Murder-Of-The-Year... ;0)
I bet it will be a husband that kills his wife. ;0)
I'm sure I'd prefer you over Greta! And I doubt that Geragos could buy you off. ;-)
Probably better looking, too. lol
Pinz
Hi, TWF, did you get stuck on the other thread? Hopefully we're about at the end of this, but you can ask rb to add you to her ping list.
Pinz
I hope THAT murderer can hold off for a few months. I'm buried in cat hair and dirty dishes around my computer from this trial. I need some time to clean out from THIS trial first. lol
My kids are threatening to use parental blockers on court tv at our house. I tried to explain that that's not what the term means, but they were having none of it. =:-0
Pinz
Thanks. Of course, I've heard of "pinging" but, for some reason, I've never learned how to ping or recieve a ping. I'm ping-challenged...:-)
I found you guys today. I'll just keep doing it that way I guess.
That juror has "scarlett hair, large earrings and NINE TATTOOS."
LOL!
DANG PETERSON THREADS! HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY YARD!
Some of the trivia on the blogs might not be there if it were not for the "no cameras in court" ruling. I think they're trying to give people the sense of what is going on, since there's no way anyone can actually see for themselves. Personally, I think it's a mistake to disallow cameras for that reason.
